"Hawai ‘i – The loveliest fleet of islands anchored in any sea."
— Mark Twain
Click to learn about Aloha...
Hawaii's inner beauty — Aloha. It makes Hawai‘i a place so special —a deep sense of belonging to a community and caring for one another.
Pilahi Paki explained Live Aloha best with use of the Hawaiian huna. Each letter in the word Aloha represents another Hawaiian word, and together these five words most completely express the spirit of aloha:
Adopted by the Hawaii Legislature in 1986 ([§5-7.5] "Aloha Spirit"), the meaning of Aloha comes from the heart and is given freely.
- A stands for AKAHAI, meaning kindness, to be expressed with tenderness.
- L stands for LOKAHI, meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony.
- O stands for OLU‘OLU, meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness.
- H stands for HA‘AHA‘A, meaning humility, to be expressed with modesty.
- A stands for AHONUI, meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance."
"The magic of aloha is contagious. Each day, the key is to "Live Aloha." Help anonymously. Forgive hurts. Keep every agreement made.
Give and share freely. Judge yourself, not others. Slow down and spend time in silence."
"Listen... understand... and Live Aloha."

Hawaiian Words of Wisdom
Source: Mary Kawena Pukui, `Ôlelo No`eau: Hawaiian Proverbs & Poetical Sayings Bishop Museum Press, 1983.
E lauhoe mai na wa`a; i ke kâ, i ka hoe;
i ka hoe, i ke kâ; pae aku i ka `âina.
Everybody paddle together; bail and paddle;
paddle and bail; and the shore is reached.
`Onipa`a.
Stand firm.

Motto of Queen Lili`uokalani.
`A`ohe lokomaika`i i nele i ke pâna`i.
No kind deed has ever lacked its reward.
He lawai`a no ke kai papa`u, he pôkole ke aho;
he lawai`a no ke kai hohonu he loa ke aho.
A fisherman of the shallow sea uses only a short line;
a fisherman of the deep sea has a long line.
A person whose knowledge is shallow does not have much,
but he, whose knowledge is deep, does.
Aloha mai no, aloha aku;
o ka huhu ka mea e ola `ole ai.
When love is given, love should be returned;
anger is the thing that gives no life.
Hawaiians understood the transforming power of aloha.
Love begets love, and enmity produces enmity.
Anger only serves to hurt the angry,
causing emotional upset, which impairs mental,
physical, and spiritual well-being.
